    The location is fantastic and it's one of the cheaper places in Zürich (not that it's 'cheap', but 'cheapER'). It's a 2* so obviously not incredible but the room was clean and had basic amenities. The location is the best point, it's worth it just for this.

The room was large with a sofa seating area and a shower room which had a large shower area. The fridge in the room was a bonus and useful.
